Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently selecting and allocating resources for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, particularly when carrier aggregation is limited by the terminal's capabilities, leading to issues such as power spectral density imbalance and TX chain switching times.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for resource allocation through carrier aggregation in V2X systems, which involves identifying suitable carriers and symbols for sidelink communication, and selecting resources based on terminal capabilities to maximize transmission efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If carrier aggregation is performed without considering terminal capabilities, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but power spectral density imbalance and TX chain switching times occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation flexibilityVSAvoidpower spectral density balance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making the resource allocation decision specific to each terminal's capabilities. The network device determines whether to perform carrier aggregation on a per-terminal basis, considering individual UE capabilities rather than applying a uniform approach. This localized decision-making prevents power spectral density imbalance by matching carrier aggregation configuration to terminal-specific characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the carrier aggregation configuration adaptable and changeable based on terminal capabilities and network conditions. The network device can dynamically adjust whether to enable carrier aggregation for each terminal, allowing the system to transition between different resource allocation modes (with or without carrier aggregation) based on real-time requirements, thus maintaining flexibility while avoiding harmful effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If carrier aggregation is performed without considering terminal capabilities, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but TX chain switching times increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation flexibilityVSAvoidTX chain switching time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having the network device determine terminal capabilities and make carrier aggregation decisions in advance, before actual data transmission begins. By pre-assessing whether a terminal supports carrier aggregation and configuring resources accordingly beforehand, the system avoids last-minute TX chain switching, thereby reducing switching time losses and improving overall transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If resources are allocated without considering UE capabilities, then resource allocation speed is improved, but transmission efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation speedVSAvoidtransmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling terminals to autonomously select resources based on pre-configured capability information and network indications. Once the network provides capability indicators and resource configuration rules, UEs can independently make resource selection decisions without requiring detailed network intervention for each allocation, thus maintaining fast allocation speed while ensuring capability-appropriate resource usage that preserves transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
